Our pillars>
Unapologetic Authenticity
We are committed to creating spaces that give people permission to be as they are. We understand that systems are not intangible, systems are people. Through the revolutionary praxis of sharing stories and truth telling in safety, we nurture brave spaces to come together to understand and alchemize challenges in a traumatizing world.
Learning
We uphold learning as a lifelong endeavor of self love and community growth. Through us all doing our individual work to build awareness, we can build together in empowering ways that lead to tangible impact. We represent the willingness to learn and grow through any challenges in the advancement of liberation and transformation that is accessible to all.
Liberation
We are tapping into the healing power of thinking, creating, learning, and most importantly dreaming together. We seek to empower individuals and groups to brainstorm, address challenges, and develop actionable solutions toward liberation. We uplift self growth in service of community progress and freedom.
World-Making
We resist a world that is openly trying to harm and take the lives of strategically undervalued people. We use dreaming and action as world-making tools to imagine and craft a reality where Black people are free from oppression. We host impactful spaces in the present that allow innovation in navigating new models of existing and thriving.
Activism
We center Blackness, Black culture, and Black wisdom unapologetically. We use all methods of activism to get free. We embrace the brilliance and cultural offerings of The Hood. We do not ascribe to anti-Blackness and internalized racism that attempt to force us to violently assimilate and denounce our naturally dynamic energy.
Our services are aimed at supporting Hood youth and the people that have the power to help them feel safe, loved, and capable. We are here for The Hood foundationally, radically denouncing and decentering anti-Black racism, internalized racism, and white supremacy culture in all of our work.

Loving
The Hood
Hoods are underinvested
& resource limited intentionally
by racist and sexist systems
- oppressive systems run by people.
We understand that interpersonal relationships
are the foundation of all systems of oppression.
These relationships are also the site of
all sparks of change.
DKC envisions a world where being honest
about injustice is not seen as taboo;
where conversations and deliberate, swift action about the change we need are the norm.
A world where we listen to Hood Black people about their needs and find sustainable ways to meet them.
